Officials say there were a total of seven trucks on site, and that firefighters had to keep refilling their tanks with water at neighboring water hydrants to battle the flames. Officials say they filled the trucks ten times at two tanks about a mile away.

This past year, Jones County officials approved the addition of more fire hydrants to the area. More fire hydrants would allow for fire crews to have more options in where to fill up tanks in instances like this. A Jones County commissioner says the fiances of the fire hydrants are still being worked out.

"I lost everything in the house-- groceries, furniture, clothes," Ange said. "When you work hard you just appreciate things so much better, and it's like, what are we going to do now?"

The American Red Cross is assisting Ange's family with a room for one night, but Ange said she doesn't know what she will do after that.

If you are interested in getting in contact with Ange, you can call her at 260-433-0037.
